Charlie Strong urged Texas fans to be patient with his 2016 recruiting class. That patience was rewarded in a remarkable way Wednesday on national signing day.
A Longhorns class that ranked No. 33 in the nation at the start of the day moved all the way up into the top 10 after six major commitments, including two of the nation’s top 50 recruits.
The Longhorns started the day with commitments from ESPN 300 defensive tackles Chris Daniels and Marcel Southall, picked up three-star defensive back Chris Brown and pulled off a last-minute flip of ESPN 300 linebacker Erick Fowler, who had been committed to LSU since June.
